The PowerPort Solar Charger and Battery has been designed to harness the sun’s energy, shortening the process of transforming it into electricity by using photovoltaic cells (PVs). PVs convert sunlight into electricity that can be used immediately. The process is clean, fast, noiseless, and – thanks to Lenmar – easily portable. Here’s how it works. Light from the sun hits the solar cells. exciting electrons within the cell. Some of them break free, and channeled through a conductive metal strip to create an electric current. This current can either be stored in a battery or used directly in the form of electricity. The stronger the sunlight and the more rays that hit the cell, the more electricity is generated. Lenmar’s PowerPort Solar is a portable Lithium-ion battery that can be recharged from any USB port or directly from the Sun. Recharge your cell phone, PDA, media player and other portable devices or gadgets ANYWHERE. The PowerPort Solar is another performance product powered by Lenmar, makers of innovative chargers, batteries and accessories for digital cameras camcorders, laptops, cellular and cordless phones iPods, iPhones, PDAs, MP3 players and other portable electronic devices.
